    so i was fiddling around in forge a while back and found myself stuck in a box. This what not like usual and i wanted to see how i did it. I didnt figure it out. Until today. XKG x Oblivion was in my party and he sparked my memory and helped me make a wonderfull little glitch that has so many uses. What this glitch does is sort of like a backwards shield door. bullets go trough but humans dont, it keeps you in place but lets you shoot through. This could have an infinite amount of uses, but if i dont tell you how it is done you will not be able to use it. so here are the steps.

    1. Get outside the map, it only works if you are outside a map like blackout which is the best for this.
    2. float a box and place a spawn point on top of it.
    3. next place a box on top of the spawn point.
    4. delete the bootom box.
    5. and you are done. when you die you will spawn in the box. you can also pick things up through the box floor, so you can place a weapon under the box and voila rocket launching box.

    i hope you like the glitch and find many uses. Also a great thanks to
    XKG x Oblivion for helping to find this wonderful glitch. and here are some screenshots and the link to a map i made with the glitch.
    also for the guys who want to have fun if you pick the box up in forge when someone is in it they are moved around in the box as well, it can be fun seeing them being shaken around in a box.

    outside the box a rocket comes through

    inside the box a rocket goes out

    and here is me in a box

    not true u can do this in the map... but down like 2 pallets then a receiver or any thing to raise it up then they can teleport in and out... could make a good sniperplace except there would need to be explosives inside so instead of pesky unscoping they either kill u or not...


    it has i think buddah crane helped but dont quote me tho i no it has... i must also say ive beat the puzzle it was on :#

    This is known, spawning inside boxes. It works in-map too. Good job finding it by yourself though.

    I knew this a long time ago. It basically makes the person inside invincible. It could be kind of cool for a juggernaut gametype where people need to get past obstacles with juggernaut shooting from inside box and then get to tele which takes them inside. Or VIP might work nicely too.

    If it is truly a backwards shield door can vehicles go through it?

    There are also these cool things in Foundry that do the same thing.
    Fence walls.

    But this does have a lot of creative potential. I think it could be used very well in a machinima of sorts.

    hmm, something you can shoot through but not go through, a reverse shiled door you say, o, wait, its called a fence wall.

    this is better than a fence. not all bullets go through a fence and for this glitch it is completely see through and bullets only go through one way. also good idea for machinima tell me if you ever do it..

    It's also incredibly old, and has been known for a long time.

    But nice work finding it yourself.
